Sugar Bowl is open thanks to the strong work of our snowmaking team. Jerome Hill Express is open with both Pioneer and Trailblazer open, along with some great beginning terrain off White Pine and Flume. The team was even able to make enough snow to put up a fun beginner’s terrain park with 4 features. If you see a snowmaker on the mountain, give them a high-five…and perhaps a warm cup of coffee if you have one in your pocket.

As of today, the snowmaking system has operated for 170 hours. We will not be able to operate the snowmaking system for the next three nights due to warm temps and high humidity BUT.. there is 8″ of fresh snow in the forecast! When snowmaking resumes, we will continue to make snow on the open terrain as well as push to Christmas Tree and Nob Hill so we can soon offer skiing from the Village.

Check back next week for an update and keep doing your snow dances, it seems to be working!

After a slow start to the snowmaking season, our team was able to fire up the system this week. With turkey-packed bellies, the team had to recover from their food comas and flip this switch around 5:00pm on Thanksgiving night. The frigid temps held up most of the day Friday, allowing the crew to build some base on runs off White Pine and Jerome. Given the lack of natural snowfall so far this year, the team has concentrated on stacking snow in these two zones before expanding further.

The forecast is calling for overnight snowmaking temps through at least Wednesday (11/29), and perhaps longer. Our team will be at the ready to make snow at every opportunity.

In the long-range, there does look to be a storm on the horizon. We will keep our fingers crossed and snow-dancing shoes on.
